New England B.S. Thread

Today me and the girlfriend put our first months rent down on a new apartment. 1400/month 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom, full basement and backyard half of a house in Hampton. Its about a half mile from North Beach. Cant wait to get out of this shit hole of an apartment. 3 weeks and counting.

 

Congrats!
But HOLY HELL to that second part...

 

Sounds similar to our place, $1500 a month gets old real quick

 

We are in the 1200 dollar boat for a 1 br, 1 bath, loft. Welcome to CT

 

You know what gets old real quick, $2100/ mo mortgage (incl taxes/insurance).

...Massachusetts problems

 

That's not bad. Same we were paying for a 1bd, 1ba in Arlington right outside of Cambridge

 

The area I am in also isnt that great and I live in an apartment building; surrounded by wayyyyyyyyyy too many neighbors (imho). There has to be 125+ apartments in my building. I just know for roughly the same price I could have a mortgage, house, land, etc.

 

Thats Hampton, NH. Sorry shoulda clarified that. We will be splitting it down the middle so ill actually be saving a few bucks. Its going to be nice not having to share a driveway and mailbox.

 

I wasn't going to ask why you decided to live on that stretch of Route 1 because it's a noisy congested shit hole and I didn't want to seem rude, but glad you're getting a decent place.

 

Haha well it was easy and available for a cheep price. Right now i pay $1000/month for 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms with everything included. Even full cable. So it was an awesome deal. But iv definitley gotten sick of being on rt 1. Plus my neighbors suck. Theyre in their mid thirties and act like they just turned 21. Completely inconsiderate people. So i really cant wait to get outta here. And its only an extra 10 min drive to the shipyard from where im going to be so its pretty nice.

 

All relative, you should see the rent prices close to Boston! You can pay that for a 1 bedroom closet in the north end.

 

Definitely a smart move

 

Anybody interested in a pair of HID fog lights? I took them out of my truck today. Went back to a stock bulb.

 

I was considering a dog house. Or living on a boat.

 

Just find a sugar momma, problem solved

 

Had one that costs that much, it was 3 bed, 1 bath, open kitchen/parlor setup. Now I'm in the apartment that Jack built for $540/mo.

 

Well day two of sitting in an office watching new hire videos . The old job was about 2 years before I got a safety bag, I got enough shit yesterday I may need a Tundra. So far the office people all seem good, the ones that really matter are the girls that answer the phone, dispatch calls and handle pay roll. I hope it wasn't a mistake to move, I walked into a office transition and a between the company and the guys/union. The new boss is trying to change things that have been an industry standard for 100+ years.

 

F that shite. My first apartment was a first floor one bedroom and it cost me all of $375/month, in a college town. Makes me glad I don't live in the city.

Definitely get on their good side...
They're the ones who decide to send to to the friendly nice people or to the a$$holes.

 

Eating lunch at the park with all the Ducks. Feel bad though the pond is all frozen over.
